The announcement took even the loyal and supportive Elecraft community by surprise. The new 160m - 6m software defined rig will be available in July with a price starting at $1399 for the 10 watt 'kit' version. The K3 will be sold either factory assembled or as a 'modular no-soldering kit'.

More details can be found on the K3 FAQ webpage and in the K3 Data Sheet PDF.
